Unit 1 College  Life

Self-assessment

1、单选题:
‏Section B​‏Directions: In this part there is a passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.​‏ ​I’ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.​Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.​The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.” In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen. Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.​Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.​‏ ​‏21 When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 3, Para. 1) in the writing process, he means ________.​‏​
选项:
A: no one can be both creative and critical 
B: they cannot be regarded as equally important
C:  they are in constant conflict with each other
D: one cannot use them at the same time
答案: 【 one cannot use them at the same time

2、单选题:
‌What prevents people from writing on is ________.‍
选项:
A: putting their ideas in raw form
B: attempting to edit as they write
C: ignoring grammatical soundness
D: trying to capture fleeting thoughts
答案: 【 attempting to edit as they write

3、单选题:
‎What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?‏
选项:
A: To organize one’s thoughts logically.
B: To choose an appropriate topic.
C: To get one’s ideas down.
D: To collect raw materials.
答案: 【 To get one’s ideas down.

4、单选题:
​One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that ________.‍
选项:
A: it overstresses the role of the creative mind
B: it takes too much time to edit afterwards
C: it may bring about too much criticism
D: it does not help them to think clearly
答案: 【 it takes too much time to edit afterwards

5、单选题:
‍In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?‌
选项:
A: It refines his writing into better shape.
B: It helps him to come up with new ideas.
C: It saves the writing time available to him.    
D: It allows him to sit on the side and observe.
答案: 【 It refines his writing into better shape.

Unit 2 Song of the Soul

Self-assessment

1、单选题:
‎​Section B‎​Directions: In this part there is a passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.‎‎A heat pump is a single electric system that both heats and cools. In summer, a heat pump is a conventional air conditioner which removes heat from a building. In winter, the system reverses itself to use the natural heat that is always present in outdoor air. By taking advantage of the free heat, a heat pump is more economical to operate in winter than a system using electric resistance heat. Electric resistance heat uses electricity as a raw material to create heat where no heat existed before. Heat pump, on the other hand, uses electricity to move existing heat from where it already exists naturally (outdoors) to where it is wanted (indoors).  ‎     Heat energy will naturally flow from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration. That is what happens when hot food grows cool. The heat from the food flows into the air in the room until the food stabilizes at room temperature. Blowing air over substance will speed up the process, which is why a winter day will seem cold when there is a strong wind than when the air is still. ‎A heat pump uses this heat transfer process to move heat which is always in the air. The outdoor coil is made colder than the outdoors air. A fan blows outdoor air across the coil where heat is absorbed by the refrigerant. The refrigerant is then compressed and moved to the indoor coil and the heat is distributed in the building.  ‎During the summer, a heat pump reverses this process. The indoor coil is made cooler than the indoor air, and so room heat flows into the refrigerant which is compressed and moved to the outdoor coil. The outdoor coil, which is hotter than the outdoor air, will lose heat energy. ‎​‎​21. A heat pump is used_____.‎​ ‎

A: to heat and cook
